Tim McCoy - Doubles and Troubles
I'll go with the first reviewer - another Tim McCoy film in which he pretends to be someone else - in this case a look-alike outlaw. McCoy is good as both men and Joan Barclay shows a little fire as the bad guy's girlfriend. Beyond that, all the other actors are adequate in their parts. However, the plot is a thin, worn-out version of many of McCoy's and other western stars' films. This one has the usual and obligatory fighting and shooting. McCoy proves what a good guy he is at the end - that may be the best thing about the film. Nothing you haven't seen before.

Great Entertainment
Another wonderful movie from the past! Sam Katzman left a legacy of great films. Tim McCoy knew how to act!

Setting The Record Straight On This Film
I recently re-watched this film and the original review of this film is way off-base. This picture has Tim McCoy playing a G-Man undercover and an escaped convict who is his exact double. The plot has several twists you won't see coming and all the action you would expect from a McCoy western film. Yes, the musical number and a few other things are lame to be perfectly frank, but McCoy (in a dual role), Joan Barclay, Ted Adams, and side-kick Benny Corbett are in top form. Very watchable. One of McCoy's best!

Seen it
Lightning Bill Carson oater. Same plot, different script, government agent "Lightning Bill" impersonates a look-alike bandit. Remember? It's in this collection somewhere.
The real outlaw shows up. Well-laid trap, blah blah blah.
